Election campaign in Bosnia Serb entity ‘lacked level playing field’ in ‘advantage’ of ruling party, observers say

Sarajevo, 24 November 2025, dtt-net.com – International observers said that election campaign in Bosnia’s Serb entity presidential elections held on Sunday “lacked a level playing field,” noting that the ruling party of the pro-Russia politicians Milorad Dodik enjoyed “undue advantages”. “While candidates could campaign freely ahead of yesterday’s early election of the president of Republika Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the undue advantages enjoyed by the ruling party combined with the removal of public campaign funding created an uneven playing field,” international observers said in a statement today.
